Ages 14 and up. $3.25 IllustratIon by Joan Walsh Anglund from I LIZ I Christmas Is a Time of Givtng 1717' Harcourt, Brace & World, Inc. retired president of Hunter College, who is a prominent Roman Catholic layman. Much of this book, like much of Dr. Shuster's life, is genial and se- rene, being reminiscences about the famous people he has known and in- cluding some very funny anecdotes about Mayor La Guardia and such colorful college presidents as William Allen Nielsen and Nicholas Murray Butler. Occasionally the tone gets acerb, as when he sees some Hunter girls as "raucous, gawky and afflicted with acne, halitosis and deplorable hair-dos," or some representatives of the United States abroad as "lechers, traffickers in women, manipulators of the black market, pett) protagonists of illiteracy, and fools." On only two subjects are there signs of real distress and suffering: Dr. Shuster's sense of isolation as a Catholic liberal on such issues as Spain and Father Coughlin, and his feeling of persecutIon by the Communists, who picketed the Hunter campus and attacked him as an anti-Semite and a pro-Fascist-a persecution so intense that he now believes that two hundred thousand dollars was raised to discredit and destroy him. LIVING FREE: THE STORY OF ELSA AND HER CUBS, by Joy Adamson, with an in trod uction by Sir Julian Huxley (Harcourt, Brace & World). Elsa, the lioness and star of Mrs. Adamson's earlier book, "Born Free," gave birth to three cubs at the end of 1959. This book records Elsa's first year as a mother and the Adam- sons' first year as-well, grand- paren ts. Elsa, who had been domesti- cated and then relea'ìed, remaIned the Adamsons' pet, but the cubs, lIke most wild animals, were shy of hu- man beings. Still, they followed theIr mother when she came to visit, and the Adamsons watched Elsa teach them what lions need to know-how to hunt, fight, and hide, and which animals are edible and which are dan- gerous. Mrs. Adamson's book is permeated by her love for Elsa and is full of keen, unsentimental observa- tion. It is a delight. Sir J uban says it is an impressive contribution to science. Photographs.
